Apple juice (or something else all natural) vs Heed or maltodextrin

Can anyone help me.

I would really like to consume something all natural. Heed and all that other stuff is made from GMO corn which I would like to avoid if possible.

I am not sure though that apple juice is the right fuel for an endurance ride and/or bike racing? I have to say that I feel that HEED gives me more energy? Maybe it has a higher glycemic index?

I am doing abotu 16-20 oz of AJ to 13-16 oz water. (about 240-280 calories in 32-33oz bottle). Any thoughts...
